Abstract
A connector includes: a plurality of terminals; a housing having a tubular outer wall part, a holding part having a plurality of terminal housing chambers, lances positioned radially outside the respective terminal housing chambers, and a locking part; and a detection member having a tubular fitting part to be fit to the holding part and an engaging part. The lances, when the respective terminals are inserted into a regular position in the respective terminal housing chambers, enter the inside of the fitting part when the fitting part is fit to the holding part and, when the respective terminal are not inserted into the regular position, are pressed by the respective terminals to become deformed radially outward and to lock the fitting part at a first position, the first position being short of a position at which the engaging part is engaged with the locking part.
